I really haven't watched much TV in the past year but do turn it on for breaking news. Why Ari had that crazy on (although I expect that is a producer decision) is beyond me (outside of "ratings" ).

(115,656 posts)And a whole bunch of seriously defective House members and state legislators. The GOP seems to have amazingly low standards.

(82,849 posts)But for some reason, Republicans keep nominating people like Joe Arpaio, Alan Keyes, and Roy Moore. Sadly, some of these yahoos actually get elected, like Michele Bachmann, Blake Farenthold, and Peter King.

(46,166 posts)This is a terrific road map for how to conduct an interview.
Melber is asking very tough questions with an even tone. He goes back to the same question over and over since Arpaio tried to sidestep the questions. Lots of fodder for Arpaio's opponent in the election.

(12,849 posts)the Dems will likely win. He couldn't win Maricopa County the last time he ran. That's the county that gave the single greatest number of Drumpt votes than any other county in the nation. If Arpaio can't win Maricopa County there's no chance he can win here.

(844 posts)Ari crushed this turd. Clearly had him frustrated and wouldnt let him away with stuff. He challenged the supposed law enforcement officer on why he says hes so tough on crime till hes the one broken the law. Then he got him to admit hes just a Trump lackey at the end when he was cornered and had to say that hed support Trump no matter what.
This interview gave me some hope, because as horrible as he is its clear he had nothing. He aint ready for a full campaign. Might get the nomination but hell go down like Roy Moore when it comes to it.
